Nestled in the woodlands of West St. Tammany parish, only minutes from the new Hwy 21/I-12 commercial and medical corridor, Bedico Creek Subdivision offers of the best of both worlds; quiet rural living with easy access to quality shopping and dining.

Bedico Creek is a "nature preserve" subdivision that encompasses 934 acres of land, of which an incredible 60% is dedicated to green space for the exclusive use of the homeowners! Within the green space can be found 20 acres of lakes and ponds, mature natural woodlands, a 3 mile hard surface walking/bike trail offering scenic views, a family activity area centered around a large open air pavilion on the shores of a beautiful lake, as well as a fishing pier and a variety of other recreational amenities.

The Bedico Creek subdivision is considered one of the best examples of a conservation community, in that it achieves a balance between the need for new communities in St. Tammany parish while preserving the area's natural beauty.

The low-density family-friendly gated enclave currently features five distinct neighborhoods, with even more neighborhoods being implemented into the master-plan. Its design versatility offers a full spectrum of housing and lifestyle options. Homes are priced from the mid $200,000's to over $1 million with single-family lots available from the low $40,000's to the mid $150,000's.

Interested buyers can choose from a variety of real estate offerings from low-maintenance 2 - 3 bedroom garden homes to huge 5 bedroom luxury houses on estate sized home-sites. Or they can purchase a lot and design and build the one-of-a-kind custom home of their dreams.

Future Open House Dates

Gary Salathe is currently holding open houses at a model garden home the company has in the Countryside subdivision. Look for the times and dates on the Countryside page of this website. He will have all of his Bedico Creek garden home designs with him at the open houses. However, he is available by appointment now to meet at his office to review the designs he has for the remaining garden home lots in Bedico Creek. Give him a call at 985-892-4848 to arrange this.

DIRECTIONS: From New Orleans or Mandeville; take Hwy 190 (N. Causeway Blvd.) to I-12, go west on I-12 to the second exit - which is Hwy 1077 Madisonville/Goodbee exit, turn right and go a short distance on Hwy 1077 to the first red light - which is Hwy 1085, turn left onto Hwy 1085 and travel 2 1/2 miles to Bedico Creek subdivision on the right.

GARDEN HOMES; TRADITIONAL AND COURTYARD STYLE

Within the garden home neighborhood of Bedico Creek there are two areas to choose from. One for traditionally designed garden homes, offering windows on both sides of the house with the focused view oriented out to the huge areas of green space behind the home. The other area is designed for courtyard style garden homes, with windows on only one side of the house and the interior view focused out to a private courtyard.

After a number of requests from customers, Gary Salathe has created a new line of designs for the "park" lots in the traditional garden home section of Bedico Creek that have the best of both worlds; a private courtyard that the interior of the home overlooks, but within some areas of the house and from a screen porch there is also a view out to the park area behind the home.

These new designs range in size from 1,959 square feet of living area to 2,472 square feet of living area.

Martin Murphy and Gary Salathe, owners of Alternative Design/Build Group, LLC, have developed an expertise in designing and building garden homes over the last thirteen years in many of the northshore’s most popular garden home subdivisions

Sample of one of the creative hybrid garden home designs by Alternative Design/Build Group, LLC that has the privacy and beauty of a "French Quarter" style courtyard - plus a wonderful view of the subdivision "park" green space behind the home.

All hard surface floors - tile or wood

Another exciting possibility with this design would be to change the screen porch into a keeping room which will be open to the kitchen and have a wall of windows across the rear wall!
